For right now, Gene Frenette writes, it feels like the Jaguars play that took down 'America’s Team' and triggered a euphoric celebration across northeast Florida will resonate for years to come.
Still, Jenkins' shoe-top pick of a Dak Prescott pass and race to the north end zone will go down as one of the most memorable plays in franchise history, especially if it serves as a springboard to the Jaguars returning to the NFL playoffs after a five-year absence.
“Man, what a great play that was,” said Jaguars’ outside linebacker Josh Allen. “That’s one of the best plays I’ve ever seen in this building.” But the NFL’s hottest quarterback in recent weeks, Trevor Lawrence, ignited the Jaguars’ second comeback from a 17-point deficit this season with the second of his three touchdown passes to a wide open Zay Jones, a 59-yarder down the right sideline.
That’s becoming a hallmark of the 2022 Jaguars, a resilient bunch that is never fazed by any adverse circumstance. The same thing happened a week ago when Pederson’s team overcame a 14-7 deficit at Tennessee, scoring 29 consecutive points to win at Nissan Stadium for the first time since 2013. “That’s just the mindset of this team,” said Lawrence. “No matter what happens, you’ve just got to keep playing. We’ve all seen, I mentioned even like the Vikings game the other night [overcoming 33-0 deficit to beat the Indianapolis Colts], you’ve got to keep playing.
Considering how one dramatic moment after another is starting to break the Jaguars’ way — including the Tennessee Titans’ 17-14, walk-off loss Sunday night to the Los Angeles Chargers — the idea of a team that went 0-5 in October winning the division is no longer a fantasy.
